Happy 2012 everyone! I hope your New Years celebrations were fun. Did you make any resolutions? We set down a few goals and one of mine is to do more diy/homemade projects this year. I have been saving sooooo many healthy and/or frugal projects on my pinterest boards and have tried a few including this homemade laundry detergent. But I would like to do more…so here is my list!
Jan: Natural homemade vanilla pancake syrup
Feb: Homemade tub scrub
March: Homemade peanut butter
April: Natural face wash
May: homemade taco seasoning mix and homemade cream soup mix
June: homemade dishwashing soap
July: Homemade bubble bath
August: Homemade ketchup
September: Homemade whole wheat pretzel bites
October: Homemade hair detangler
November: Homemade naan
December: Homemade hand soap
I will share how they went. I got motivated by Money Saving Moms diy project list and thought I would join in that adventure. She had quite a few that I wanted to try too! So thanks Crystal for the inspiration! And I think one project per month is very doable! Have you done any diy projects lately? How did they turn out! Here are a few that didn’t make the list but I will probably also try this year!
Homemade granola (find a wholesome recipe so we can always have it on hand)

I love this idea! I might have to make my own list and try to make something new all year long!
